Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Southampton City Council procured works to refurbish the Threefield play area in Southampton. The requirement is an essential renovation of an existing play area, covering recreation installation works (CPV 45212140). Delivery is associated with the Threefield area, Southampton, including the SO14 and SO14 7LY locations recorded for the requirement. This is a works contract rather than a supply-only or professional services opportunity. The council is the buying organisation and the completed requirement was delivered by a specialist play-area contractor. Businesses relevant to this type of work include companies able to design, supply, install, renovate and maintain public playground equipment and associated recreation infrastructure.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Southampton City Council used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to Kompan Ltd for £69,521.02 including the stated GBP currency. The award date was 17 July 2026, with the contract running from 17 July 2026 to 16 July 2027. The tender had a submission deadline of 16 July 2026 at 12:00. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. One overall requirement was recorded rather than separate lots.

This award shows Southampton City Council’s demand for specialist public play-area refurbishment delivered through a framework call-off. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in renovating recreation installations and play spaces, managing works at an urban public site, and delivering safely within a defined council contract. Relevant suppliers are likely to be established playground manufacturers, installers, refurbishment contractors or consortia combining these skills. Framework access and experience of call-off procedures would be commercially important, alongside the capacity to undertake a complete refurbishment rather than provide isolated equipment only. The buyer’s identification of the requirement as suitable for SMEs indicates that a focused specialist business may be capable of competing.
